In commemoration of #NationalAdoptAShelterPetDay t

In commemoration of #NationalAdoptAShelterPetDay today, here are some factors to consider when choosing the right pooch for you!

Choosing the right breed of dog is a decision that should never be taken lightly. Different breeds have different characteristics, temperaments, energy levels, and care requirements, so it's important to consider your lifestyle, living situation and preferences when selecting a breed.

SIZE
Consider the size of dog that will fit well in your living space. Small breeds, such as Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Yorkies are well-suited for apartments and small homes, while larger breeds, like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers require more space and room to roam.

ENERGY LEVEL
Different breeds have different energy levels, so it's important to choose a dog whose energy matches your lifestyle. High-energy breeds such as Border Collies and Australian Shepherds need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, while low-energy breeds, like Bulldogs and Basset Hounds, may be more content with leisurely walks and playtime.

TEMPERAMENT
Consider the temperament of the breed and how it aligns with your personality. Some breeds are known for being independent and aloof, while others are more affectionate and social. Breeds like the Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, while breeds like the Pekingese, Greyhound and Maltese tend to be more aloof and independent.

Read the rest of what to consider when choosing the right pooch for you on our website (link in bio).

Driven by a sole mission - to tackle the challenge

Driven by a sole mission - to tackle the challenges of food insecurity and unemployment - one family-run enterprise is helping put food on the table, one sock at a time.

Meet Mike Nel, a Shongweni family man whose vision, along with that of the rest of his family, is a nourished South Africa. After more than two decades in HR, he packed up his desk and left the corporate world to fulfil his purpose as a social entrepreneur.
With a serious drive to make a difference to the lives of those around him, Mike now heads up the KZN factory for Food Sock, a revolutionary meal-in-a-bag business that is making waves around the food industry.

Nutritious, tasty (trust us on this one), convenient and affordable, these meals can feed up to four adults or six children, for just R45, in under 40 minutes - yes, you read that right – which makes them ideal for busy moms, single folk, students, pensioners, campers, hikers and, especially these days, during load shedding.

Food Sock was originally founded in 2021 by George resident Carl van Blerk, and relative of Mike, who, as a passionate Lions Club member was asked by the government to support the efforts of providing food to the local community during Covid.

Fast forward and Mike and his wife, Meghan, now run a very busy factory in Waterfall where, together with an amazing team, they make up a variety of different food socks. They are sold for home consumption and in bulk as they are ideal for feeding schemes and other outreach programmes helping disadvantaged communities, which is something close to the hearts of both Carl and Mike.
